Chapter 314: The safety of Abba's true story?
It turns out that the screenwriter of the movie version of "Global Evolution" did the same as Chen Ba thought, and made Chen Yun's sister Chen Jia the protagonist.
The real protagonist, Chen Yun, has become an insignificant supporting role.
"Here it comes, the segment I'm most looking forward to!"
At the premiere, ever since learning that Chen Jia had become the protagonist, Chen Ba had been looking forward to the development of the plot of the movie version, especially how the screenwriter would handle the "players vs. NPCs" plot.
In reality, the elder brother Chen Yun is the protagonist. Since he is a character controlled by the player, Chen Yun can also be regarded as a player.
And the younger sister Chen Jia is just an ordinary NPC. Although they are biological siblings, their positions are completely different.
How should the film present this contradiction?
With curiosity, Chen Ba looked at the big screen intently.
The story begins with an accident.
The extraordinary era of global evolution has arrived, the terrifying upright ape has fallen from the altar, and the situation on the blue planet has evolved from humans being the only dominant force to humans, ferocious beasts, and sea beasts being the three major forces.
Among them, humans are the weakest.
An accident resulted in the death of both parents. The protagonist Chen Jia and her brother Chen Yun depended on each other and struggled to survive in this crisis-ridden world.
“These actors are pretty good!”
Wang Ya, who was standing by, commented: "I thought it was another bad movie starring some hot young actors and actresses, but I didn't expect the acting was okay, not as bad as I imagined."
"It's indeed OK."
Chen Ba nodded in agreement.
Judging from the opening ten minutes of the movie "Global Evolution", the actors chosen are all representatives of good acting skills, without any popular young actresses or handsome young actors.
The performances of these talented actors, coupled with the fairly outstanding special effects scenes, really elevate the viewing experience of the entire movie to a higher level.
Take the protagonist Chen Jia as an example.
Although this actress is not stunningly beautiful, nor is she a beauty that appears once in five thousand years, she is very comfortable to look at and has the feeling of a girl next door.
Moreover, she is a talented actress with really good acting skills. She accurately reproduced the clingy and annoying character of Chen Jia in the game.
The movie is still showing.
Because it is an adaptation, the movie plot will be different from the game version in many details.
Fortunately, the general settings and personalities of the characters have not changed, and the general direction of the plot has not changed.
In the story, Chen Jia and her brother Chen Yun depend on each other for survival, but she is a weak little girl who will not live long.
In order to cure her illness, the top human strongman stationed in the base city is needed to take action.
But why would such a strong man help two ordinary people living at the bottom of society? Do you really regard such a strong man who has fought through blood and fire as a kind-hearted person? "In the game, the player first avenges his parents, defeats the golden eagle boss, and then goes to treat his sister's illness."
Knowing that Wang Ya might not have played the game Global Evolution, Chen Ba explained to her: "The movie version seems to have changed the order. You have to treat your sister's illness first and then fight the golden eagle."
"I see."
Wang Ya nodded. No wonder Chen Ba looked a little surprised. It turned out that the order of the movie plot was different from the game version.
But it’s not a big problem!
Chen Ba then said that although the screenwriter had made some adjustments and modifications, the main plot remained the same, with Chen Yun missing and Chen Jia forced to grow and become invincible.
Because the movie was adapted into a trilogy, the story of the first part ends with Chen Jia killing the golden eagle to avenge his parents, and accidentally discovering his brother Chen Yun's "relics" in the golden eagle's nest.
It should be considered as leaving a suspense.
After the movie ended, Chen Ba, wearing masks and sunglasses, walked out of the theater with Wang Ya and heard several audience members discussing at the door.
"Fuck, Chen Jia killed the golden eagle, doesn't that mean she killed her brother?"
"No way?"
"How come it won't happen? Have you forgotten that in the game, the player has already become the golden eagle boss at this time?"
"The game is a game, the movie is a movie, the plot has been adapted, it's definitely not the original route... Anyway, look forward to the second part!"
"You're right, the second part is indeed worth looking forward to. By the way, I also want to buy a ticket to watch it again. Do you want to join us?"
"Go, go, go, two brushes, two brushes!"
The audience's discussions are enough to prove how satisfied they are with the film adaptation.
Although the opinions of these few viewers are not representative of all the audience, Chen Ba, who watched the entire movie, feels that the box office performance of "Global Evolution 1" should not be too bad.
The editing is really thoughtful!
It's not 100% faithful to the original, but that doesn't matter. Adaptation is adaptation, and as the name suggests, as long as you do a good job, the audience will buy it.
But if your adaptation is not good, or even seems like a piece of shit compared to the original, then don't blame the audience for criticizing you.
It's quite embarrassing to say.
The reason why the movie version of "Global Evolution" received such high reviews is actually largely related to the mediocre plot of the original work, that is, the game version.
This is indeed the biggest weakness of Tianba Studio, including Chen Ba himself, and that is the level of copywriting and plot, which is not as good as that of other 3A game planners.
“The movie is quite good.”
After walking out of the cinema, neither of them spoke, and maintained a strange silence until Wang Ya took the initiative to bring up the topic.
"Um!"
Chen Ba was silent for a while. This was the first time he invited a girl to watch a movie. According to Dong Ge's strategy, this should be considered a date, right? Dong Ge's strategy was very detailed, and even explained clearly what to do in each step of the date.
But……
Brother Dong didn’t say what to say to ease the awkward atmosphere when both parties are silent!
"Forget it, I'll take you back."
I didn't know what to say, so I didn't say anything. Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Ba thought it would be better to send her home first.
You can't just wander aimlessly on the street, right? If you have that much time, why not go back and play a few games?
"Okay, thank you for your help!"
Wang Ya nodded, and then followed Chen Ba to the underground parking lot.
After finding his car in the parking lot, Chen Ba was about to open the door and start the car when the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
"Hey, Brother Ba?"
"Where have you been? The reporter wanted to ask you a few questions, but you disappeared in the blink of an eye? Hey, hey, hey, say something?"
Chen Ba: “…”
He turned his head to look at Wang Ya, who was already sitting in the passenger seat and fastening her seat belt, with an expression of indescribable hesitation.
So, what should we do now? ...
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
In the end, Chen Ba sent Wang Ya back and did not attend the interview and question-and-answer session following the premiere of "Global Evolution".
The bad news is that his action of leaving without saying goodbye after the premiere was regarded by a group of unscrupulous entertainment tabloid reporters as a sign of "dissatisfaction with the movie", which led to public opinion having a very bad impact on the movie.
Although Chen Ba posted a Weibo post to clarify that he was very satisfied with the movie and was unable to participate in the interview because he had to send a friend home at the time, this clarification had little effect.
Netizens are still more willing to believe that Brother Ba suffered a cerebral hemorrhage due to anger after watching the movie, and didn't want to say anything, so he just left without saying goodbye.
“Nonsense!”
Chen Ba was so angry that he rolled his eyes in the office. These self-media editors are really good at spreading rumors. Which eye of theirs saw him "walking out of the cinema with a livid face"?
Come on, he was clearly in high spirits when he walked out of the cinema!
"This is how journalism works. No matter what the truth is, you have to come up with a catchy and topical headline to attract attention!"
Yang Dong smiled and said, "Don't be angry. Instead of getting angry with these unscrupulous editors, why not take a look at the price of Abacoin today!"
"What's so good about it? It just went up again. This thing goes up every day. I don't know how much bubble there is in it..."
"No!"
Yang Dong smiled strangely and said, "The Abacoin did not rise today. Not only did it not rise, but it plummeted. The current market price is $120 per coin."
"Fell?"
When Chen Ba heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
What's going on? The price of Abacoin has gone up, which is not a big news. After all, since the birth of this thing, the price has never risen. But the price has fallen, and it has fallen sharply, which is a big news.
With Ma joining the hype, the tweet he sent out is still hot, how could the price of Abacoin suddenly plummet? "What happened?"
Chen Ba realized that there might be some unexpected changes, otherwise the price of Abacoin would not have fallen to this low point all of a sudden.
"Someone broke the news that Abacoin is at risk, and a hacker from abroad openly announced that he had cracked the game code of "Aba's Story."
Yang Dong explained: "Of course, there is no conclusion yet on this matter, but the news that the game has been cracked has spread like wildfire, and many people are panicking."
Crack "Abba's Story"? What a joke! Even if Chen Ba was beaten to death, he would never believe that someone could successfully crack a game under Tianba Studio, let alone "Abba's Story".
The game "Study Simulator" released many years ago has not been cracked until now. I can't find a cracked version even after searching the entire Internet. How could "Abba's Story", a new game that was released not long ago, be cracked? "This is fake news!"
"Yes, many people think so. This must be fake news."
Yang Dong nodded and said, "The problem is that although this is fake news, "The Legend of Aba" is a game after all. As long as it is a game, there is a possibility that it can be cracked."
This is also the reason why the market trend suddenly changed and the price of Abacoin plummeted overnight.
No one was aware of this problem before, but now they all realize it after being reminded.
Oh yes!
After all, Abacoin is a derivative product of "Aba's Story". As a game, does "Aba's Story" have no flaws and loopholes? Impossible.
There are so many hackers and computer experts in the world. If one day they suddenly set their sights on "The True Story of Aba", can the security of Aba Coin still be guaranteed?
To put it bluntly, ordinary people have no idea how outrageous and exaggerated Tianba Studio's "anti-leakage" measures are. They only know that they have played many cracked games.
Since other games can be cracked, I believe that "Abba's Story" is no exception. If the game is cracked, what value does Abba Coin have? "It doesn't matter."
After learning that the price fluctuation of Aba Coin was due to market panic and that most people did not believe in the safety of "The True Story of Aba", Chen Ba also became more open-minded.
If you don't believe it, then don't believe it.
Anyway, Tianba officials do not support the existence of such a strange product as Aba Coin. The fact that no one is interested in Aba Coin due to market panic may be a good thing for Tianba Studio.
Let it fall. It would be best if it falls to the point where no one is willing to buy it, and then Abacoin will completely exit the stage of history.
Chen Ba thought so, and he even wanted to add fuel to the current public opinion by having Tianba Studio officially come forward to hint that "The Story of Abba" might be at risk of being cracked.
But he didn't expect that someone was faster than him.
Before he had the chance to add fuel to the fire of public opinion, Ma, who had expressed great optimism about the Abacus on the other side of the ocean, could no longer sit still.
He directly stepped in to save the market! There were very few Aba coins in circulation in the market, and Lao Ma went on a shopping spree and bought up all the Aba coins.
What does this mean? His actions gave Abacoin a shot of adrenaline. The Abacoin, which was about to go out of business, immediately rebounded, and the purchase price soared to $1,000 per coin.
“No!”
Chen Ba, who had been dreaming of the demise of Aba Coin, watched the price of Aba Coin rebound from the bottom and finally reach a new peak. His expression was completely stunned.
No, can this go back up?
